Great book for aspiring authors and established authors as well. You do not need to write erotica to use this book. If you need to spice up your love scenes, this book will help.

Learn from among the best

If you're interested in writing erotic romance, then you should definitely pick up a copy of Angela Knight's Passionate Ink. Ms Knight discusses writing in this genre in a straightforward and frank manner and provides excellent examples from her own work - both of things that worked and those that didn't. Although I'm an editor and not a writer, I found this book to be extremely useful in not only evaluating erotic romances, but other fiction genres as well, romance or not.
